To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, PAUL A. BANCEL, a citizen of the United States, aresident of Nutley, county of Essex, and State of New Q Jersey, haveinvented a certain Low-Lave Multijet Condenser,

ing is a specification ings.

T is

m mnlti-jet condenser,

to a condenser having nozzle. I c

The objects of the ihventi'onare to increase the surface area of thejets or streams of water emitted by the nozzles, thus economizing in theuse of water and also increasing the efficiency of the com enser.

Further objects of the invention will hereinafter appear and theinvention is shown in one of its preferred foriuh in the accompanyingdrawings, in \Vl1iCl i- Figure 1 is a longitudinal sectional elevationof the condenser,

Figure 2 is an enlhrged detail longitudiaccompanied by drawinvention alow level it more particularly h improved form 11:11 sectional view ofone of the nozzles, an

Figure 3 v is a transverse sectional view on the line 3-3 of Figure 2,looking in the direction of the arrows.

Referring to the drawings, the condenser comprises a casing having thelower section or body A, the upper section or inlet'hea B, the diffuserG and tail pipe D which is glartially submerged within the tank or sumpWater flows over tank to the outlet G. The tail piece 1) is preferablyprovided with the counter weighted flap valve H. Steam is adinitte tothe condenser casing through the steam inlet J and the inlet head ispreferably provided with the man hole cover K.

A water head L in the 11 per part of the casing to which'water isadmitted through the water inlet 0, is provided with a series oi nozzlesP,-emitting orjets of water directed towards the throat Q of thedifiuser' at the outlet of the casing.-

d area of the jets,

1 ing a casing the weir F from the ,P

d of the diffuser,

convergent streams A combining-tube B may if desired he providedin theusual manner surrounding the convergent streams ofwater and steam passesthrough the combining tube 1 between the vanes or guides S to comminglcof which the follow with ,the water.

The nozzles P "are ofi such construction that onolinozzle ior'ms'ahollow stream of water as indicated diagrammatically and 5 2 and 3.Obviously in detail, in Figures f different forms of nozzles may be usedforproducing hollow streams of water and I \avc illustrated one suitableform of nozzle in Figures 2 and 3.. Each nozzle referably com rises thenozzle proper indicated by the le ter P and a central core piece or.guide vane T suitably connected to the noz zle, as by means of the websU, so that the water from the water head passes down between the webs[lot the nozzle around the central guide vane or core piece T, thusforming a hollow jet.

The multiplicity of convergent hollow jets or streams of water increasethe surface for the purposeof condens- .in'g thestcum and increase theefficiency of the condenser with greater economy in the use of water.

I claim: I

A low 1 vol multi-iet condenser, comprishdving a diffuser at its lowerend and a contracted throat at the entrance of said difiuser, a waterhead in the upper ortion of the casing and a ring of remov- 3 ablenozzles on said head for directing converging streams of water to thesaid throat each niizzle containing a. central guide-vane and websconnecting said guide vanes to the walls.of the nozzles for 35 forminghollow streams of water from the nozzles.

In testimony whereof I lmv'c signed this specification.
